Arcade Fire FuneralBADBADNOTGOOD BBNG2Badgerhunt The First HuntSome of the best emo indie punk newcoming bands I've heard in a while. The guitar tone isn't that of your normal twinkle tone. They have a habit of repeating a lot of their guitar lines within a song but somehow manage to keep it very interesting. The songs have a lot of raw and unexpected energy. The song structures are dynamic in that the overall tone of the song will fluctuate across the song: if the song starts fast, it will slow down in the middle, and then speed up again.

The smooth and dreamy atmosphere is provided so excellently. Ennui makes it clear that the vocals here are just another excellently executed set of instruments - the balance between the vocals and the rest of the instruments is perfect and the harmonies provided are simply sublime. There really isn't that much else to say other than that this is also ridiculously catchy. Formation of Tides is surprisingly immediately gripping and the 2nd track has a tendency to sound like an retro video game soundtrack.Entropia (PL) VesperFlying Lotus Until the Quiet ComesFoxygen Take The Kids Off BroadwayFrank Ocean channel ORANGEYeah, I'm not getting this at all. Frank's not bad, but his voice seems underwhelming. I rather enjoy the arrangements for most of the songs. The lyrical content tends to keep this interesting yet the first few songs seems very lacking to me. Some of the synth work is really good, but I found most of the samples to be completely useless and really unnecessary. The production is nice but I can't find anything memorable for me.From Indian Lakes Able BodiesFugazi End HitsFugazi Instrument SoundtrackFugazi FugaziFugazi Steady Diet of Nothingfun. Aim and IgniteFuture of the Left Travels With Myself And AnotherFuture of the Left The Plot Against Common SenseGatherer PostcardsOne of the best hardcore albums I've listened to in recent memory. I got through it without getting bored once (of course, it helps that the album is 7 minutes long). The vocals and production are incredibly solid and are well aided by the guitars and drums. All of the songs are structurally varied, spacing between the slower more emotional parts and the faster and heavier parts. I'm getting a strong Reflections vibe off of Counterparts 2nd LP.

It is interesting and works surprisingly well. The vocal work in a sense it reminds me of Panic!'s debut where the instruments were rather good but the vocals occupied spotlight much too often. My main nitpicks are that I'd prefer if they expanded on their instruments, switch up the structures every once in a while, create and set up the mood more effectively. The band is certainly technically proficient, but it becomes somewhat difficult to tell behind the vocals.Iceage New BrigadeISIS PanopticonJ Dilla DonutsJack's Mannequin Everything in TransitJackson Browne Late for the SkyJames Blake OvergrownJellyfish Spilt MilkJelonek RevengeJoan Jett and the Blackhearts Bad ReputationJoey Badass 1999He's got that MF Doom vibe going on with him.

Never Hit Again's album Sinkers is everything you could ask from a (very) melodic Hardcore album with gang vocal sessions and short anthemic guitar solos abound. In short, Sinkers is everything Rise Against's last album should/could have been without the half-hearted political dogma. Recommended tracks: Sinkers.New Order SubstanceNew Order Low-LifeNGHBRS HellomindNick Drake Pink MoonNight Sins New GraveNine Inch Nails The Downward SpiralNirvana In UteroNobuo Uematsu Final Fantasy: Original SoundtrackI'm not really understanding these low scores. Sure it wasn't hugely bombastic or orchestral, but keep in mind that Square was going bankrupt and that this was supposed to be their true "final fantasy" before calling it quits. The last thing they needed was an overly dramatic soundtrack, just something to listen to get by while playing the game.NoMeansNo WrongObliteration Black Death HorizonOne Last Wish 1986P.O.S Never BetterPanic! at the Disco Pretty.

Flowers Of RomanceQueen A Night at the OperaQuicksilver Messenger Service Happy TrailsRadiohead OK ComputerReal Friends Everyone That Dragged You HereI don't get why this score is pretty low compared to other pop punk bands when this is rexcellent. The production is absolutely superb - everything is so clear, with no instrument rgets left behind. As far as catchiness goes, this certainly delivers. rEveryone That Dragged You Here is one of the catchiest things I've heard all year, far rcatchier than most bands that reside in the new trend of indie punk (90's punk/emo rinfluenced tr00 pop punk usually with poor indie production). The guitars and style is very rmuch reminiscent of All Time Low's debut LP The Party Scene (which is a damn good thing) ronly this is even catchier and has much better production, but not as good lyrics (although rone could argue that this has more meaningful lyrics).Rip Dizzy No Room to DanceRise Against The Sufferer and the WitnessThe Sufferer and the Witness is Rise Against's best work, featuring showcasing their catchiest and most sensational work with an excellent balance of heaviness and poppiness. This is jam-packed with such strong anthems that refuse to leave your head any time soon. Of course, the structure and or messages may repeat itself a few times more than they really should. However they are always presented in different and interesting ways from the spoken word verses in the Approaching Curve to the old school punk style of Bricks.Rob Dougan Furious AngelsRome Hell MoneyRush Clockwork AngelsThis is my first Rush album and it rocks.

Stevie Ray Vaughan Soul to SoulStevie Wonder InnervisionsSubRosa (US) No Help for the Mighty OnesSudatsuga UntitledSudatsuga Blue Moon SaiyeedSuede Dog Man StarSummer Vacation ConditionGreat album, it takes a bit of time (after the second track) to pick itself up but it's a whole lot better than I could remember. It might have too much tracks for its own good, but all the songs are like 2 minutes long or less so it doesn't really matter. Recommended tracks: Tiffany Sucks, The Flower That Drank the Moon, Not That, Vice CitySuperchick Rock What You GotSuperchick's latest album is a frustrating one. With old-school rock throwbacks abound, combined with modern pop rock, Rock What You Got starts with an interesting sound. However, after the 4 hard-hitting anthems (and with the exception of Cross The Line) it quickly becomes redundant and tepid after Hold On. Although, it does seem to grow on me, far more than expected.Talking Heads Fear of MusicThank You Scientist Maps of Non-Existent PlacesYet another interesting experiment/progressive rock album to come out this year. Similar to the likes of Art By Numbers and Via Coma, Thank You Scientist incorporate many different genres and instruments in their music (everything from pop punk to funk to Mexican with violins, mandolins, and trombones), apply strange, sometimes awkward, songs tructures, and intensely focus on their instrumentation. The music can be described as complex, silly, gimmicky, and intricate all at once - and the band seems to be well aware of that, striving for that exact effect. At times these attitudes and musical choices seem inconsistent and ridiculous (like the overly long horn solo in track 4), but for the band is always entertaining and often refreshing.The Beatles Magical Mystery TourThe Beatles The BeatlesThe Blues Brothers Music From The SoundtrackThe Boo Radleys Giant StepsThe Brave Little Abacus Just Got Back from the Discomfort...The Bulgarian Voices Angelite Fly, Fly My SadnessThe Church StarfishThe Danse Society SeductionThe Derevolutions Living in the Pop WorldThe Dismemberment Plan Emergency & IThe Effort Wartime CitizensThe Guess Who Canned WheatThe Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation EgorThe Offspring SmashThe Paper Chase Now You Are One of UsThe Protomen The ProtomenThe Protomen Act II: The Father of DeathThe Siren The SirenThis is my personal ideal type of indie pop. The Siren begins with Snow, a tantalizingly beautiful piece. Ironically, it does not bring to mind a dreary snow day. Rather, it invokes an lucid dream-like state of one lying in an open field, beneath a clear and inviting nighttime sky. It is very much reminiscent of Air France's track Maundy Thursday with less horns and more harmonizing and guitar. The Siren is very driven by swaying exchange between the bass provided by the piano, the distorted guitars, and phenomenal harmonizing. Likewise to Storm, Storm's the name is entirely misleading as the is not so much chaotic as it is serene. The real stand out track of the album is Stars. It is a bit more of your traditional indie pop, starting with a quick drum-line before dissolving as the vocals start. Perhaps the best way to describe this is a far more accessible and straightforward Formation of Tides by Ennui (for better or for worse, however in this case, it is very difficult to tell which is better than the other as both are excellent).The Smiths Hatful of HollowThe Socialists Green EPThe Sun and The Sea NightfallsThe Graduate's spiritual and literal reincarnation takes the band further into their more progressive indie sound. The opening track "Down the Same Path" features the band's characteristic trance-like atmosphere and some excellent harmonizing provided by the band's new vocalist. The next track sounds like it could have been produced straight out of Only Every Time with even more gang vocal work and is extremely catchy. Also characteristic of the band, a short instrumental piece is featured - one that is beautiful, serene, and wistfully fleeting. Nightfalls is the feel good album of the summer - but only warm yet dark and lonely nights.The Sun and The Sea Demo EPLacking a vocalist, The Sun and The Sea opt to pursue a more ambient/electronic approach to their sound. In reality, it is a very natural progression from their previous incarnation's latest album: Only Every Time. The increased focus on the beats and meticulous layering of the instruments creates a beautiful, spacey, and sometimes haunting landscape. Recommended track(s): First Track, Mad Max, and South Dallas. http://thesunandthesea.bandcamp.com/album/demo-epThe Yardbirds Having a Rave UpThe Yardbirds Yardbirds (Roger the Engineer)The Zombies Begin HereThis Is Your Life Before We Fade AwayThe opening song starts with an epic riff that gets almost completely ruined when the rest of the band joins (featuring some of the most generic characteristics pop punk/hardcore has to offer), but is thankfully picked back up quickly. The guitar work seriously makes this band, as far as I'm concerned. It's not particularly unique or new, but it's quick paced and unrelentingly catchy. After subsequent listens, it becomes increasingly obvious to me that this is definitely the best melodic hardcore I've listened to in a very long time. Between the in-song interludes and screaming, the band manages to show impressive songwriting depth. The final track is incredibly gripping, laced with intense cathartic desperation. It's been a long time since I've been this interested in a band in this genre. This Is Your Life should have no where to go from here but up.Thriftworks HydromancyTotal Fury 13 SongsTricky MaxinquayeTrophy Scars Never Born, Never DeadTurnover TurnoverTypical Cats Typical CatsUFO ObsessionUlver Messe I.X-VI.XUlver Nattens MadrigalUlver Blood InsideUlver Shadows of the SunUnsane UnsaneUnwound Leaves Turn Inside YouVan Morrison Astral WeeksVar No One Dances Quite Like My BrothersVarious Artists Electronic Music Sources Vol. 2 (1937-1959)Velvet Condom StadtgeilViolent Femmes Violent FemmesWarpaint The FoolWarren of Ohms UntitledWarsawpack Gross Domestic ProductWe Followed Tigers And Then We Were Killed...White Hex HeatWorld's End Girlfriend Hurtbreak WonderlandWugazi 13 ChambersYacopsae Tanz, Grosny, Tanz...Yann Tiersen Les RetrouvaillesYes FragileYoran MontparnasseZelliack Noir ToneZephyr Zephyr3.0 good2Cellos 2CellosA Common Year Where The Light Still ShinesA Common Year Between CitiesA Place In Time Take This To HeartThis is probably A Place In Time's catchiest release, but also their least consistent.

The Adventures of Bobby Ray display an alternative hip-hop style that is very very accessible. While the rapping and arrangements are solid for the most part, he relies much too heavily on his hooks. B.o.B employs the help of many different artists in different genres, most often to provide the chorus of the song. This comes as a double-edged sword because the hooks and featured guests all too often overtake his own rap verses to the point of the album being more akin to Various Artists featuring B.o.B rather than vice versa.Bad Rabbits Stick Up KidsBalkans BalkansBalkans have a very intriguing and unique sound. Some of the riffs are incredibly catchy and production is clear but raw. The vocals aren't the very good but they feel perfectly suited for this music. I can definitely hear some post punk, noise rock, and old school punk rock influences. The songwriting is definitely a major focus for this band which you can see in the disjointed song structures and massive amounts of accidental notes or usage off odd keys. However, this gets a bit much sometimes, quite often reducing the album's catchiness and lasting value. This album is (unfortunately) not an immediate one.

The opening track is a catchy noise-pop tune featuring disillusioned and seemingly apocalyptic lyrics and screams.

Overall, it's pretty good, but really inconsistent. The first 3 tracks are very solid alternative/pop punk tracks. The flow is bluntly disrupted by the boring Cobarde but is picked back up again in the dramatic track Ghost. For the most part, nothing is overly cathartic (except in Ghost) but are always set up with a somber and subtly desperate tone, even in the happier tracks like Love.

Very consistent, yet somewhat diverse with some very nice vocals. The album is certainly catchy and occasionally experiments in song structures which helps keep it interesting. The token ballad (An Ending) song is excellent. I must admit, I'm very worried that the band name takes after The Wonder Years. I really hope not. http://theupside.bandcamp.com/The Velvet Underground White Light/White HeatThe Wonder Years Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm NothingThe Wonder Years The UpsidesThriftworks RainmakerTigers on Trains GrandfatherTigers on Trains FoundryTitle Fight Floral GreenTonight Alive What Are You So Scared Of?TR/ST TRSTTransient AloneTransient We Do Not Lose HeartTransit Listen & Forgive (Reissue)Trapper Keeper NamesTricky False IdolsTriple Hex Triple HexTriple Hex WinterTurnover MagnoliaTV on the Radio Dear ScienceTy Segall Goodbye BreadUlver Wars of the RosesValencia We All Need A Reason To BelieveVegas! Midnight MachineVia Coma BridgesVia Coma's Bridges is a beautiful progressive piece. Of course the clean and slick vocals may seem to hold it back, the production is smooth and the musicianship is dynamic. Despite each of the songs being about 4 minutes long, Via Coma successfully manages to keep each moment gripping or taut with tension.

The album is exceedingly catchy and has above average vocals. The music is very upbeat and fun overall but the guitar work rarely falters - sometimes providing the climax of the song. Life's An Avalanche sounds just like Man Overboard's best (at until the bridge comes on) and We Still Dream is a rocking pop punk anthem. Unfortunately, some of the songs are clearly worse than others, and others risk becoming a bit too generic.We The Kings We The KingsWeekend Nachos WorthlessWhy Bother?

They are you your average alternative pop rock band relying on catchy hooks, simply riffs, and some amount of emotion to grab it's listeners. Unfortunately, the album as a whole gets incredibly stale incredibly quickly. Literally half or more of the album is composed of (mostly boring) ballads. In addition, while the faster tracks are great in the moment, they are hardly memorable. This staleness even becomes very apparent within a song - because the chorus is repeated so often and the bridges rarely improve upon the song, there is little reason to listen to the whole songs within the album. Phantoms is structurally and thematically boring (every single song with the exception of the closer has to do with girls). The worst part is that the lead singer tries so hard so often to be emotional but utterly fails because the lyrics are so damn vague to the point of meaning absolutely nothing but a cheap attempt at trying to be deep.AJJ Knife ManAll Time Low Three Words to Remember in Dealing With The EndAnaal Nathrakh VanitasAnathallo Floating WorldAnathallo Canopy GlowAnchor RecoveryAnne Power ExchangeApe Machine War to HeadOverall good and consistent, but it just seems to homogenous by the end of the whole thing.

It is certainly catchy and energetic, something many lesser known hardcore bands have been lacking recently. However, the lead singer has really poor vocals and blackzombie is right in that the drums are very typical, which is a really easy turn off for some. I do like the metal-influenced guitars, and I certainly wouldn't mind hearing an LP out of this band and see how they've progressed from here. I'm between a 2.5 and 3 right now.Europe The Final CountdownEyes Wide When It's RainingOkay, I've listened to this album twice and then once more again. However, my latest listen confirms that this is relatively worth listening to. It is not subpar pop punk in the least, however, it is average and it really lacks memorability and distinctiveness - as far as I'm concerned. Everything I've heard here sounds like I've heard it elsewhere before.Fair to Midland Arrows and AnchorsFaith No More Album of the YearFinch What It Is to BurnSomewhat underwhelming pop punk/post-hardcore. They have some good moments, but most of it is familiar and rarely anything special. Not a bad effort, however.Forever Came Calling ContenderForgive Durden Razia's Shadow: A MusicalOne of the most hit or miss albums you may ever come across. Feature a very large cast of extra singers, an odd (and overblown) story, and strange execution, Forgive Durden was shooting for the stars in their musical. It is exactly what it says it is, pop punk in musical form. The production and execution make this an interesting, if not, off-putting listen. It's certainly unique among its genre but perhaps not in such a good way.Freddie Gibbs and Madlib Deeperfun. Some NightsFuture Idiots Neighborhoods & MorningwoodsGatling Hen In A PumpkinGatsby's American Dream VolcanoGo Radio Close the DistanceGo Radio Lucky StreetLucky Street sees Go Radio go in the somewhat surprising direction of full on Pop Rock, as opposed to the heavier and more alternative Do Overs and Second Chances. Unfortunately, this newer style doesn't work nearly as well as it should. Once again, we see Lancaster showing off his unique vocals and once again, Lancaster makes it clear why his lyrics far surpass those of their peers in lines such as "...You're leaving something short of innocent" and "If I could paint this town with all your good intent, I'd leave these walls as red as my eyes could have been..." However, aside from the resentful Any Other Heart and some ballads such as Swear It Like You Mean It, there isn't much that catches your attention. Lucky Street is unfortunately a relatively boring release.Green Day American IdiotGrouplove Never Trust A Happy SongHail the Sun ElephantitisI wish their wasn't such a stylistic disparity between the instruments and vocals... Okay I just wish there were no vocals to begin with.Have Heart The Things We CarryHey Monday Hold On TightHollywood Undead Swan SongsAn intensely polarizing album that lacks coherence and self-respect. The album has few very good tracks and quite a few awful ones. One moment they are talking about bitches and hoes, the next they're riding out an anthem for the forgotten and unwanted generation(s). A 3.5 for more sentimental reasons than otherwise. Recommended tracks: Undead, This Love This Hate, YoungHomelife DemoThis was a very unimpressive release - which is understandable as it is only a demo, however, the vocals/screams are incredibly monotonous and flat.

The vocals sound even more like your usual post-hardcore whines and the bombastic tone is often hit or miss. But overall, they pull off a coherent, slightly darker, and certainly intriguing pop punk album. An album similar and different than many bands before them, but one that won't be turning heads.Shabazz Palaces Black UpSilverchair DioramaSpeak Easy S/T E.P.Spitalfield Better Than Knowing Where You AreSquid the Whale Four MoreState Champs The Finer ThingsStick to Your Guns DiamondStreetlight Manifesto Everything Goes NumbStrike Anywhere Iron FrontTaking Back Sunday Tell All Your FriendsTaylor Swift FearlessThe American Scene Safe For NowSomehow the American Scene manage to dive headfirst into the indie punk scene and manage to make it work out, for the most part. As expected from their last EP, comparisons to the Dangerous Summer are inescapable (most particularly in the vocals but also in the atmospheres crafted by their instruments). The vocals are also very similar to that of Maker (which doubtlessly harkens back to the Godfather of indie punk, Brand New). They are not just another indie punk band, however, the production is excellent (for one thing) and the vocals are clearer. Nothing was overly moving, but it remains consistently interesting throughout the whole album.The Dangerous Summer If You Could Only Keep Me AliveThe Dear Hunter MigrantThe Desperate Bicycles Remorse CodeExcept for the classic track I Am Nine, and some humorous cuts like Birthday and Trendy Feelings, this really drags quite a bit.

This is plainly clear in the album opener where the band relies on rhuge hooks and overly slick production. Lyrics have downgraded by a significant level, now rfocusing on more self-aware and sarcastic themes (often about partying and or youth). This ris the beginning of the end for All Time Low, they start shedding any trace of their pop rpunk past in favor of inoffensive radio pop rock. It's not all bad, however, Weightless, rBreak Your Little Heart, and Damned If I Do Ya are all incredibly infectious and fun.

His voice is not so much unique but certainly distinctive and interesting but the album is marred by awful and downright lazy songwriting. Some of the staples of the album include God awful lyrics. However, Grenade is a simple and catchy tune that people seem to take too literally but the real highlight is Just The Way You Are - an uplifting and anthemic ballad. But the rest is jam-packed with filler and or worse such as the Lazy Song, which could have more accurately been as utter trash.Carly Rae Jepsen CuriosityCarrie Underwood Carnival RideCecil Taylor Unit StructuresCharli XCX True RomanceChief Keef Finally RichCirca Survive Violent WavesCoheed and Cambria The Afterman: DescensionCoheed and Cambria The Afterman: AscensionCrywank James Is Going To Die SoonCrywank Narcissist on the Verge of a Nervous BreakdownIt's lyrically very blunt, straightforward, and downright depressingly pathetic. The guitar work is often simplistic (although he is already very informed of this) and his vocals are amateurish and plain. You can feel the palpable desperation, however, I find this to be excruciatingly boring. Crywank and the album title both embody the album almost perfectly: what you got is just a desperate man and an acoustic guitar aspiring for success.Cute Is What We Aim For Same Old Blood Rush With A New TouchDaughtry Leave This TownDaughtry Break the SpellDef Leppard HysteriaDeftones Koi No YokanDemi Lovato UnbrokenDepths and Scatabrainz Less Than HumanJust too damn annoying to be considered anything good.

MatangiMac Miller MacadelicWhen I first heard the opening of Desperado, I was genuinely excited, however not so much after his verse began. Overall, he hasn't changed much, except that everything about Mac Miller seems very slightly better. His rapping seems more natural, more laid back, and not as forced as in his debut album. The production and the hooks are improved and the beats aren't quite as generic or as obnoxious. Unfortunately, he fails to improve upon the most important area: lyrics and themes.Mac Miller Blue Slide ParkOkay, so I'm listening and it doesn't seem that awful. Just that, nothing about him seems particularly believable or even interesting. As someone else pointed out, his style doesn't seem natural or authentic and he certainly isn't pulling on any emotional strings here. The production and the hooks don't seem that awful either, though, but his lyrics are pretty bad. The beats are sometimes really obnoxious and actually bring him back (if that even makes sense). Up All Night is a very fun pop tune - well at least until the God-awful chorus and bridge show up and only if you ignore the lyrics. Loitering is painful to listen to. All in all, Mac Miller's Blue Slide Park is forgettable, nothing new, and completely inoffensive.Macklemore and Ryan Lewis The HeistMajor League VariablesMajor League Hard FeelingsMan Overboard The Absolute WorstMayday Parade Anywhere But HereMC Tristan The End of The WorldMEANS To Keep Me From SinkingMGMT Oracular SpectacularMGMT CongratulationsMisery Signals Absent LightMotion City Soundtrack GoI'm not really sure what's up with all these high scores. I've never heard of their older (and supposedly better) work but I'm well aware that these guys are considered pop punk legends. The opener "Circuit and Wires" is incredibly underwhelming with a weak chorus and absolutely nothing special about it. Many of the other songs are not too different than the opener but at least "Timelines" has an incredible delivery and tangible emotion. "Everyone Will Die" is surprisingly optimistic and beautiful. The lyrics are actually pretty good but the vocals are odd yet seemingly flimsy and nondescript.

In Bouncing Souls' Comet, you'll rarely hear anything new or even particularly interesting. This is all just straight-forward happy yet boring punk rock. Aggression and energy are two things you won't find here often and the anthems are fleeting at best. The vocals are often clean and are certainly not grating or bad, but it is less than distinctive and the instruments very rarely help. The songs Infidel, Baptized, and Comet are semi-decent but the rest are hardly worth your while. Sorry, Hep Kat, I usually agree with you on things like this.

EDIT: I'm finally listening to it now and it seems incredibly standard as of now. The profile is sure correct, they've got no gimmicks - which in pop punk kinda sucks because then they've only got lyrics and catchiness with going for them. From the start, I rather enjoyed it, I got a very strong Valencia vibe from it. The singer seems to get off key a few times, but at least the guitar solo was there to save the opener. The next few songs aren't better, the guitar work is most often boring. "I'm losing interest in all your promises." An interesting line but incidently, I'm losing interest in this album. Few things are working for this band right now, the drums are way boring and the production mutes the guitars so that you can barely hear them unless the guy isn't singing. It's all for the best, I suppose, because the guitars are rarely noteworthy to begin with. Disillusioned guy from Absolutepunk is right: you've heard this album plenty of times before, once more isn't going to hurt anybody, but it's also not going to impress either. There are moments in the album that makes you think that they could have been much better such as the last break in Harvard and the chorus of Postcards. But not matter how catchy it is, it's not memorable and the guy's voice sounds like a second-rate Shane Henderson. It could be worse, I guess, at least it didn't have pointless breakdowns.Yeah Yeah Yeahs MosquitoYelawolf Radioactive1.5 very poorA Lot Like Birds No PlaceA Rocket to the Moon On Your SideAll Time Low Dirty WorkAortes The Crawling ChaosAsking Alexandria Reckless and RelentlessAsking Alexandria Stand Up and ScreamAttack Attack!

Tyga's vocal delivery is very odd (in the worst possible way) most of the time, it hardly sounds like it's his real voice. It really gets in the way of his songs because his voice can barely carry a good hook or even a verse. His beats are absolutely pathetic (sometimes barely noticeable), his rhythms and rhymes are constantly awkward, and his lyrics are just plain awful. Few songs have a notable climax (making the songs incredibly stale halfway through). The album opener is misleadingly passable however the singles Rack City and Faded are repetitive as fuck.
